Speaker: Lara Maldanis, ISTerre, at Université Grenoble Alpes, France The webinar is part of the LINXS…
Read MoreIn the past years, Brazil has jumped from a 2nd generation machine to a 4th generation synchrotron source. This jump on generation has not only increased flux, brightness, coherence, and so forth but has opened unprecedented opportunities for the Brazilian scientific community. This presentation…
Read MoreThe ESRF started operation in 1992 as the world’s first 3rd generation synchrotron radiation source. Since 2009 the ESRF engaged in an ambitious upgrade programme delivering an accelerator complex and beamlines with orders of magnitude higher performance. The replacement of the old ESRF storage…
Read MoreIn the past decade we have seen very important developments in the field of accelerator based X-ray user facilities, with the advent of 4th generation synchrotron sources and MHz rate free electron lasers. The first hard X-ray free-electron laser, LCLS (US) became operational in 2009 and over the…

To take maximum benefit of the new source, new beamlines and instruments are currently being designed. An instrument named Atomic…
Read MoreThree dimensional magnetic systems promise significant opportunities for applications, for example providing higher density devices and new functionality associated with complex topology and greater degrees of freedom [1,2]. For the experimental realisation of these new properties, appropriate…
Read MoreThis talk presents some key concepts of FEL operation, and highlights from the first years of FEL science: mostly in the field of condensed matter physics, but with a broad overview of other research fields as well. The goal is to give simple guidelines that will hopefully help to broaden the…
Read MoreThis webinar reviews table-top x-ray spectroscopy setups. Second, it focuses on the discussion of time-resolved table-top setups as developed at Chemical Physics in Lund. In the third part, the webinar extends the discussion on the proposal writing process with a more detailed section on how to…
Read MoreX-ray coherence-based imaging comprises several powerful techniques which allow investigations in the different scientific fields, including biology and life sciences. The non-crystalline nature of such samples can be explored by coherent diffractive imaging (CDI) and ptychography and cellular…
Read MoreRecent progress in 3D coherent x-ray diffraction imaging methods can enable high resolution structural imaging of nano-structured crystalline materials.
